Bucha City Council has presented a local waste management plan. The document sets out how the community will collect, sort, remove and dispose of rubbish in the coming years.
This was reported by Bucha City Council.
The plan aims to reduce the amount of rubbish sent to landfills, expand separate collection and make the community cleaner. A separate study was carried out to prepare it, and the concept includes calculations of disposal rates.
Mayor Anatolii Fedoruk reviewed the plan together with the relevant council departments. Specialists made their amendments, recommendations and comments in line with current legislation.
Once finalised, the plan will form the basis for the community’s further decisions on waste. The council explains that the community has long been introducing individual measures, and the plan will bring them together into a single system.

Why the community needs the plan
Every community must have a local waste management plan, as required by the Law on Waste Management. The law gives communities one year to draw it up from the date the regional plan takes effect.
The Kyiv Oblast Military Administration approved the regional waste management plan until 2034 on 1 May 2026. Local plans must be consistent with it.
Work on Bucha’s plan began in September, with a first meeting held with Council of Europe experts. At the time, the document was described as covering 10 years, with a modern recycling plant and biogas production among the priorities.
How Bucha already sorts its waste
Separate collection in the private housing sector of Bucha and Vorzel began this spring. The community bought more than 2,000 containers, and households with a waste collection contract receive two 120-litre bins free of charge.
The yellow bin is for paper, plastic, glass and metal, and the green one for mixed waste. Free distribution of yellow bins began on 15 May for residents with a signed contract.
As a reminder, in October Kramar Eko, which collects rubbish in Bucha and Vorzel, proposed raising its tariffs. The monthly charge for a resident of an apartment block would rise from UAH 96.83 to UAH 111.45.
